RE: Another holiday later on this year!

Hi there

This is the holiday we have decided to take and it will be just the best for us and we will see it as a another experience in the birding world once more.

http://www.naturalist.co.uk/tours/andalucia2.php

OH and I are filling in the forms tonight and sending them off, and making our payment as soon as possible

This is our third trip out with Travelling Naturalist. Our first was to see Wallcreepers and Cranes in Aragón in Spain (yes, we saw Wallcreepers, and they where fabulous birds to see).
The second a UK trip to Devon for a reunion trip.

So, as I have two above reports yet to add to my forums, this will be the next report and I will forward to adding it in.

Regards
Kathy

Hi there

Just back for my holiday last night. It was superb, and just the best ever

I have some things that I need to do up to the end of next week, then I will concentrate on my report, and the areas we visited in Spain.

Worth every penny and the weather was sunny a lot of the time

The best find for us (found by others) was a Red Necked Nightjar hiding in the lower area of spindly trees, and a Spanish Imperial Eagle (by our leader)- 2 times

Regards
Kathy

Red Necked Nightjar

Hi there

These are the best 'photos' that my OH could get of the Red Necked Nightjar - not easiest 'bird' to see at all though all of the scrub and trees in the area. We where looking down a steep hill which added to the problem of taking the photo

What a disguise, and very hard to see

Regards
Kathy

Is that a photographer poking in on the left?

How did your new camera fair?

Also looking to the report....

There where a few people in the area with large lenses, so I would not be surprised if there was a lens impingment going on!

I decided not to bring my new G15, and OH used the Nikon D7000 instead.

So the holiday photos where taken by my OH.

I will set to task with the report now, as I had some things to complete this week.

As from tomorrow, I will be doing my report and will post it asap.

Regards
Kathy
